I&#39;ve never seen it since! I recently found some chicken scratch at my thrift shop, although I didn&#39;t know that was the name for it.

I have several aprons maded by my aunt, but I&#39;ve not used them much; just too pretty to mess up! Someday someone will probably put them in a garage sale. I need to show your blog to my DIL who is learning to quilt; maybe she will rescue them when I&#39;m gone rather than ditching them! ---&quot;Love&quot;---"Love"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14253789635330034057noreply@blogger.com
